One of my band portraits of the Plymouth based group Brotherhood Of The Lake made it into the current issue of Rock Sound Magazine available now from all good newsagents… The band’s new album ‘Iron Sails” will be released on June 28th 2010 and gets a glowing write up by Rock Sound, stating: ‘we promise you won’t hear as many records as good as this in 2010…’.

Some live music photos from Machine Head’s recent headlining show at the Plymouth Pavilions on their Black Procession tour. No flash photography allowed, and the stage lighting was horrible hence the black and white conversions…

The launch party for the new 2009 – 2010 Shred Brochure and Price Guide took place last Friday at Carpe Diem in Plymouth and the brochure will now be distributed to nearly 3000 businesses across Plymouth and the surrounding Devon and Cornwall districts. The commercial portraits were shot by myself (all but one) on location at various Shred Ltd Clients’ premises; each one an environmental location portrait of the client featured in the brochure, to be run full page vertical and composed to allow room for the graphics laid over the images featuring a short bio of the business. Featured above is the opening spread featuring Shred Managing Director Steve Toze alongside Designer Jim, and below is John Crouch of the National Marine Aquarium, Myles Hutchins of surf goods (including Dragon Eyeware) distributor Hectic Ltd, and finally Gary Bees of PC Towbar Services. I had a great time working on the photos for the brochure and look forward to producing images for future Shred projects; check out the full brochure at http://www.shredpublishing.co.uk/page2.htm
